Two Dual SIM phablets from iBall – Andi 5L and Andi 5Li.

The Mumbai based electronic goods manufacturing company, iBall, has added two new phablets to its list of smartphones. Dubbed Andi 5L and Andi 5Li, the phablets are shipping with dual sim facility. Both the phablets are prices with a budget friendly price tag of 13,000/- rupees. The price tag varies depending on the online/ retail shops.

Both the Andi 5L and Andi 5Li have dual core processors. Both will be featuring dual-core 1GHz Cortex A9-based processors of unknown make. The big screened phablets will be having 5 inches displays. iBall also introduces free flip covers along with both the phablets.

Both the phablets have the same internal and external features except for the Operating System. Both have internal storage capacity of 4GB, out of which, only 2GB will be available for the users, and 512MB RAM. They will be having an expandable memory up to 32 GB. Both the phablets will be packing dual cameras. There will be a rear primary camera of 8MP and a front camera, the resolution of which is not yet revealed by the company.

For connectivity options, both Andi 5L and 5Li will be having Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, microSD card slot, GPS with A-GPS support and Dual standby for dual sim cards. This dual standby allows you to switch the sim cards with out turning the phone off.

As we mentioned above, the only difference between both the phablets lie in their Operating System. The Andi 5L runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, whereas the Andi 5Li runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Operating system. The phablets differ in their battery too. While Andi 5L packs a battery of 1800mAh, the Andi 5Li packs a 2000mAh battery. The Andi 5L has a stylus pen too.

As both the phablets are priced with same price tag, there are chances that the users might go for the Andi 5L rather than the 5Li, as it packs a stylus pen along with it. But if the criteria is the battery power, the Andi 5Li will be preferred.

But the price tag is a bit higher as far as the specifications of the phablets are concerned. There are a plenty of smartphones available in the smartphone market out there, which have more specifications and a more affordable price tag. For example, there is Indian made Micromax Canvas HD with quad core processor, which is available at more or less the same price tag.
